Thom (and others), thanks for your thougtful response. FYI you guessed my motivation for change, in part at least. My record collection has been purged of stuff which no longer interests me all me and is down to about 500LP's.
My silver disc collection which has most of the performances that I enjoy is up to about 5000. I just don't listen to LP's that much any more. I'm much more into performance issues and am growing less interested in format issues and pursuing the 'ultimate' audio system. In fact accepting the limitations of my equipment makes for more relaxed listening. No angst! :-)
Thanks all for the recommendations.
